Prior to my wedding, the only pearls I ever owned were fake. A set of real pearls were always something I really wanted because the vibe pearls give is something that is effortless, classic and timeless. Joe gave me my first pair of real pearl earrings for our wedding day and I was so excited! I wore them with my dress at my wedding, and I wear them all the time now. Getting my first real pair for such a special occasion has made me love pearls even more because now they are sentimental in addition to be classy!

So it won’t come as any surprise that I am obsessed with this new trend of wearing pearls on everything: sweaters, jeans, shoes. Heck, I’d put a pearl on my panties if it wouldn’t be the most uncomfortable thing I could possibly imagine. So I knew the minute I saw this pretty, pink pearl cape that it was destined to be in my closet. Wearing it makes me feel like a snow bunny in Aspen, which is weird because I hate snow and I’ve never been to Colorado – so.

But jokes aside, I love this cape and I love the neutrality of this whole look. It really makes the pink and the pearls pop. And if you haven’t invested in a pair of over the knee boots yet, now is the time. I really thought this style was going to be a quick trend and yet here we are like 7 years later and they’re still going strong!
